Well, whew! As a result of Reddit’s recent spark of genius, the number of users looking for a new home has been growing at quite a brisk pace. In the last 12 hours, over 30 new membership applications were received. This has never happened before in Sopuli’s short history. It’s a bit like what happened to Mastodon when Twitter had its own spark of genius. I’m surprised and also excited.

Anyway, welcome to new users! Feel free to check out Sopuli and Lemmy in general. If you have any questions, you should first check FAQ if the question has already been answered. A list of communities, both on Sopuli and on other instances, is conveniently displayed in Communities and here. If you are planning to create a new community for a topic, you should check there to see if one has already been created and if the topic is fitting for it.

No huh huh! Redditin viimeaikaisten neronleimauksien seurauksena uutta kotia etsiviä käyttäjiä on tullut varsin reippaalla tahdilla. Viimeisen 12 tunnin aikana tuli yli 30 uutta käyttäjähakemusta. Tällaista ei ole Sopulin lyhyen historian aikana tapahtunut aiemmin. Tämä on vähän sama asia kuin mitä vuorostaan Mastodonille kävi Twitterin neronleimausten takia. Olen yllättynyt ja myös innostunut.

Joka tapauksessa, tervetuloa uusille käyttäjille! Tutustukaa Sopuliin ja Lemmyyn ylipäänsä vapaasti. Jos on kysyttävää, kannattaa ensiksi katsoa UKK:sta, jos kysymykseen on jo vastattu. Listan yhteisöistä sekä Sopulissa että muilla instansseilla näkee kätevästi Yhteisöt-näkymän kautta ja täältä. Mikäli aikoo perustaa uuden yhteisön jollekin aiheelle, kannattaa katsoa, onko sellainen jo perustettu ja sopiiko aihe siihen.

    I’m not a fan of reddit’s decision to kill off third party apps (even though I don’t use reddit on my phone).

    I am another reddit refugee, I can’t see using it from my phone without redreader. Thanks for running an instance. I will have to see what communities there are on here that might fill what I used reddit for.

    YesYes! I guess the finnish way suits me more than the beehive way. I have been on Lemmy for two days, following with much sleeplessness this playground – it’s like children unpacking the big christmas packet, with awe.

    If there is anyone here who has a little bit of knowledge about github/coding/layout, to help with some changes to make the sign-up process go more smoothly, please go ahead! Here are some suggestions that were made in the temporary server overload thread yesterday:
    https://lemmy.ml/comment/457578
    https://lemmy.ml/comment/82311 (a more explanatory subheader is already in the works, hope they see that it apparently needs to be done via the translation tool)
    https://lemmy.ml/comment/450975

    So, let’s hope this doesn’t go downhill with the expected influx!

      AFAIK there are some plans/considerations, at least for some of the 3rd apps, to migrate to/support Lemmy. so maybe in the near future you can have Boost for Lemmy - at least one can dream…

      although, I must say, Jerboa is a bit buggy in some parts and could use some mir features, but I think, it already has a very good and useable base

      I feel your pain- I’m still holding out hope for a Boost for Lemmy, but not sure that’s realistic any time soon. The r/boostforreddit sub was pushing for that but after the past few weeks I wouldnt blame the devs for taking a break.

    Thanks for having me! I’ve already been on the Fediverse for a bit but I had never tried Lemmy. Good luck staying afloat with the influx!

    Yeah decided to join here as well after the shitshow at reddit. Maybe I’ll try to lurk less than I did there and actually post some stuff ;)

    Nice to see folks here. Just joined and have been slowly moving my social internet away from the corporate controlled interests. Mastodon has been a breath of fresh air and am optimistic that Lemmy will be too.

      I recently set up matrix for myself, as well. It’s especially nice once you bridge it whatsapp, telegram, discord, and whatever else you use. Finally the cluterfuck of modern instant messaging, in one place.

    Thanks for approving me! I’m yet another Reddit refugee. Here’s to hoping the community develops further.

    Onko tietoa millaisessa formaatissa yhteisön bannerin ja kuvakkeen pitäisi olla? En onnistu lisäämään luomaani yhteisöön kumpaakaan, enkä löytänyt dokumentaatiostakaan äkkiseltään mitään . :/

      Kai kuvakkeeseen ja banneriin riittää ihan mikä tahansa JPEG, PNG tai muu yleinen kuvaformaatti. Tuleeko kuvien lisäämisessä jotain virhettä tai muuta? :O

            Samalla tavalla esimerkiksi kuvan upottamisen yrittäminen viestiin antaa virheilmoituksen {"error":"rate_limit_error"}

          Tuo "files":null kuulostaa siltä, että jostain syystä se kuva ei ladannut serverille ollenkaan, olettaen että tuossa pitäis olla nimensä mukaan ne tiedostonimet (tai viittaukset) mitä koitat sinne ladata.
